Have chartered the 514PC and docking was a breeze. I don't think you will have any issues going from a 46 to a 52. AS you know wind will mess with you when docking but if your going from a 46 Cat to a 52 Cat the profiles are pretty close and will behave the same. Have fun!
Cruising the local waters here in SC and GA. Love the BVIs and miss the Tradewinds!

I think as already stated your confidence in your ability is key. Were you confident in past trips?
Largest I had chartered was a 46 and then we took out the Moorings 5800. Big difference in size, but I had no issues with it. But I was very confident in my ability. Any time I haven't been confident maneuvering somewhere, I went with plan B.
